Walking

Waymarked walking routes make the most of Cardinham's beautiful surroundings with well-maintained trails for all abilities. Visitors with limited mobility can hire our off-road mobility scooter to enjoy the trails.

Mountain biking

Get your adrenalin fix on the blue grade Bodmin Beast mountain bike trail that winds around the wooded slopes of the Cardinham Valley. Two optional red sections can be added to test your technical skills.

Play

The whole woodland is a playground. But if that isn't enough, enjoy our dedicated play area and family activity trail. Check the website for this year's trail.

Cafe

Recharge at Woods Cafe with a scrumptious seasonal menu of light bites, including vegan and gluten free options.

Outdoor learning and birthday parties

The experienced team at Badger Forest School offers hands-on learning in the great outdoors through regular school sessions, holiday clubs, family sessions, and birthday parties.

Dogs at Cardinham Woods

Dogs love the forest and all its sights, sounds, and smells. There is drinking water and a self-service dog wash in the car park, and the stream is the perfect paddling spot on a warm day. Cardinham Woods is surrounded by grazed farmland with vulnerable livestock, so we ask you to keep all four-legged family members in sight at all times and on a lead if their recall isn't reliable.
